KIM Kardashian has, yet again, faced backlash over her seemingly altered complexion.
The reality star’s face looked noticeably darker in the latest episode of her family’s Hulu series, The Kardashians.
A Reddit user pointed out a scene where Kim’s face appeared to be a different skin tone from her hands, reigniting ongoing accusations of “blackfishing.”
The critic posted a screenshot of the moment where Kim cups her hand under her chin, showing the significant differences in skin color.
The model wore a full face of makeup and her long dark hair tied back into a half ponytail.
Fans called out Kim for her seemingly doctored appearance, branding the 41-year-old as “fake.”

“This photo looks like she’s taking off a mask of her face lol,” one person commented.
“Her fake a** plastic face with her non-matching witch hands.
“Blackfishing when she isn’t trying to tear us down. Gross,” added another.
“Honestly it’s disgusting,” a third remarked.
While others thought the picture was an illusion and her hand was actually “another person’s.”
However, the mom-of-four has repeatedly been blasted for her ever-changing complexion.
She was slammed for looking darker than usual last week while attending the Mark Twain Price For American Humor in Washington.
Kim sported a heavy tan while wearing a black sequinned dress on the night.
The TV star – whose late father Rob was Armenian – sat next to her boyfriend Pete, 28. in the audience at The Kennedy Center.
Critics flooded Reddit to accuse the SKIMS mogul of blackfishing, which refers to someone pretending to be Black or mixed-race, using tools for hairstyling and makeup.
Journalist Wanna Thompson created the term and described it as “White public figures, influencers, and the like [who] do everything in their power to appear Black.”
In a since-deleted comment, one user wrote on Reddit: “When are we going to pull [Kim] up on the constant blackfishing? She is just unabashedly pretending to be a different race?”
Another added: “Her dress is pretty, but she looks really dark. Like chill out on the spray tan.”
A third commented: “I’m shocked Pete doesn’t get residually tan just from being around her bc damn, shawty out here looking like a solar flare.”
“Right? Every time I see her next to Pete she literally looks Oompa Loompa-esque,” a fourth user agreed.
In March, Kim received a similar response for her “out of control” tan while on a dinner date with Pete.
In 2017, Kim was accused of blackfishing in a KKW Beauty ad but retaliated by calling her critics “so toxic.”
“I did a photoshoot for the first launch of my KKW beauty contour sticks and we wanted them really moody. I was really tan. I wanted to show the contour,” Kim said in a resurfaced KUWTK clip.
“The photos ended up being a little bit darker than I was,” she continued as a photo of her from the shoot appeared.
“There were some people online saying I was doing ‘blackface’ and that the photos were inappropriate.”
The video then cut to people tweeting about Kim’s photos on the internet.
“The internet world is so toxic. And I feel like people are just waiting for you to make a mistake, just to point it out,” she said.
“What do you do? It’s already out,” asked a friend in the video.

Kim looked at her and then back at her laptop with a frustrated expression.
In a scathing Los Angeles article, the Keeping Up With the Kardashian alum and her sisters were also accused of “extracting financial gain” from Black people in a scathing Los Angeles Times article.
